I have never raced with the BMW M3 GT2 in this track, but I know Nordschleife very well, so after two or three practice laps I already knew how much the car could take. Changed a few things in the setup and there I was, ready to start.

R1 was super intense, Stepan was in front of me the entire time and I was trying to overtake him, but it is almost impossible in this track. I was faster during the straights / fast zones, but he would go away after the Karusell. I had to lift up or even brake when I got too close to him, which happened a few times, since the gap was usually 1 second. I only managed to really catch him once, during the main straight, but I didn't have enough time to overtake him. Unfortunately on lap 3 I did a mistake and Stepan went away. Second place.

R2 was pay back time! I managed to get in front of Stepan and even though he was faster than me in some sections, he couldn't overtake me. During the main straight I was faster, so the gap got bigger there. After driving on the edge 2 entire laps, I relaxed a bit on the third one. Stepan got really close, but then he lost control when exiting a corner. I waited but he took a long time to get back, so I finished 1st. Not the finale I was waiting for, but still, two amazing races, thanks Stepan and all who showed up!

Best time: 7:00:2xx with this car. A little bit more and I would have done less than 7 minutes!
